Abstract

We study random walks on the lampshuffler group FSym(H)H\mathrm{FSym}(H)\rtimes H, where HH is a finitely generated group and FSym(H)\mathrm{FSym}(H) is the group of finitary permutations of HH. We show that for any step distribution μ\mu with a finite first moment that induces a transient random walk on HH, the permutation coordinate of the random walk almost surely stabilizes pointwise. Our main result states that for H=ZH=\mathbb{Z}, the above convergence completely describes the Poisson boundary of the random walk (FSym(Z)Z,μ)(\mathrm{FSym}(\mathbb{Z})\rtimes \mathbb{Z},\mu).
